SWB Roll Bar

[Muncher]

Not sure if this question would go on this forum or not but how much would a swb roll bar sell for? might sell mine eventually but I'm not sure. I love the thing but hate the fact that i can't have a full sized tool box or a topper on the truck.

iirc last one sold on here was 700, all depends on area and whats someone is willing to pay

I would like to throw a thought at ya, your truck did leave the factory with the sport bar. Just throwing that out there.

Have you considered mounting a tool chest between the uprights?   This style of box would still allow you to run a topper someday since it doesn't sit on the bed rails.

MWB is just the sportbar option code, it does not "mean" anything.

I have one up for sale. Shipping would be fun.

That's what I did. It's not a great photo, but you can see the box:

I personally paid $550 for a factory SWB sport bar in NJ, pricey but it depends on what you want and how rare they are/hard to find

It seems like SWB bars are easier(and probably were a more popular option) to find than a LWB bar.

I have no clue as to what was more popular at the time, but you could very well be right. It was difficult to find one in my area, I had searched about 8 months and the one I ended up with was the only one less than a 6 hour drive for an affordable price for me.

 

The factory ones are getting rarer and rarer. There's always a chance you stumble across one on a part out or you buy an entire MJ just for the bar (restore the rest or part it out)!

I often like to think that theres someone other than the few we know who are hoarding parts out there or a big warehouse owned by someone with a lot of Jeep parts in there.

As a side note, MWB is the code for the Sportbar regardless of SWB or LWB.

That's what I did.   I bought a rough '88 Eliminator that was almost identical to mine.   I removed the sports bar and the brackets, a perfect pair of seats, the original Eliminator wheels and a period correct JVC radio.  it also came with a never used factory tonneau with all of the mounting hardware in the original bag with the instructions.   I sold it with suitable seats, wheels and radio replacements and made $200.   The guy was happy as hell to get it.  

 

I have a second SWB sports bar that I got for $250 CDN.   It's rough but I can weld in a short section of tube or a patch at the base of the hoop on one side to restore it.   It's otherwise good but I don't have the brackets for it.   I'm sure the price would double with a bit of work.

I am actually selling a swb sport bar for 600. A guy is buying it tomorrow.

Qnd i don't have the mounts(sadly) and I'm in Massachusetts
